This single, pivotal event would change the world. The smartest military minds of the coming generation—Zeppelin, Jellico, Fisher and others – diverted their attention to the glorious new technological revolution, and sea-going battleships were abandoned around the world. In their place, armored giants took to the skies. In 1906, Great Britain launched the HMS Leviathan, the first of the “super air ships,” another step in the worldwide arms race. By 1910, the most powerful nations boasted large High Fleets, and the start of small skirmishes left the world uneasy… welcome to Leviathans! AN ALTERNATE HISTORY GAME OF AIR FLEET BATTLES!
